This Gluten-Free Cottage Pie is one of the most comforting savoury pies I know. Cottage pie, also known as shepherd’s pie, what is the difference? The difference is the meat. Shepherds pie is made with lamb and cottage pie is made with beef. This deliciously flavoured cottage pie has fluffy, cheesy potato topping, and the entire pie takes less than an hour to make.

In this gluten-free cottage pie recipe, I replaced a traditional flour crust with Swiss chard to line the pie dish. And I also replaced butter in the potatoes I used buttermilk and cheese, adding a twist on basic cottage pie. The cottage pie is exceptionally delicious!

If you like savoury pies, you will love the gluten-free skillet chicken pot pie.

  • 1 Tbsp. grape seed oil

  • 1 cup gluten free beef stock, divided
  • 1 Tbsp. gluten free Worcestershire Sauce
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • ½ cup sliced mushrooms

  • ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and quartered (I used russet potatoes)

    • Instructions

  • In a large saucepan, sauté onions until slightly brown. Add beef and cook while stirring until no longer pink
